- xnorswap 4y agoThat used to be the case but typically I'd say most meat now is sold in round number of grams, for example 500g mince: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/250871426 https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/250871426 And 400g Chicken (these definitely used to be ~450g packs for a long time): https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/304404328 https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/304404328 I suspect shrink-flation has ended up rounding things to metric even when they were previously based off round imperial measures. Unlike inches, I can't remember the last time I saw something marked with lbs, I'm not sure I could even properly process how heavy "2lbs" is.
